High carbon steel lawn mower blades harden & temper up into great knives.
Here is a large camp/survival knife ground from a mower blade.
Large old files make up into great knives also...but, they are too brittle "as is" & need to have their hardness tempered back.
cool, I may fashion a mower blade up this summer or sooner if I can find an old blade.
Good stuff QK - I have made a file knife years ago - after suitable tempering - and old files were real good steel too.
Other thing - made, or well correction - started making and never finished - a knife from a vehicle semi-elliptical spring. More good metal.
